- The currency markets tend to note changes in the global financial system before other asset classes
- This is because currencies are the largest, most-trade and most liquid markets
- Currencies rarely have extreme gains or losses because they are all relative (they trade in ranges)
- Currencies are priced against each other
- Except for hyperinflation, they rarely go to zero
- It is also rare for them to make huge gains
- Countries can attempt to maniuplate their currencies for gain:
- Lower currency values can help increase exports (they are cheaper) and decrease imports
- Lower currency values can help generate inflation
- VS. strong currencies which help drive deflation (imports cheapen)
- The political party in power may want a cheaper currency in order to boost the economy (and their prospects of staying in office)
